The National Association of Small Trucking Company’s profile has been growing these past several years. They were the lead plaintiff on the case against FMCSA’s CSA regime in the early days — we can thank that case for the golden triangle symbol indicating a carrier is above the intervention threshold in a BASIC. Otherwise, such a BASIC status was to be marked by either the words “Warning!” or “Alert!” 

They’re also part of the ASECTT lawsuit attorney Henry Seaton updated NASTC conference attendees on yesterday. (It’s still being decided, but Seaton believes the reality of the lawsuit and details it brought forward about the inequities for small carriers in the CSA system have spurred Congressional investigations whose reports are shortly due. Here’s the details.
